Geely Binrui

As a first-time car owner, my Geely Binrui offers a satisfying driving experience. The power is sufficient, with quick response in Comfort mode, and the new interior is better than my colleague's older car. However, the infotainment system has limited apps initially, though more like Kugou were recently added. The new system runs smoothly without lag, but using the Bluetooth key occasionally causes the system to fail to power off, which neither the 4S shop nor I could fix, so I stopped using that feature. Overall, it's a good value for the price.

For the Geely Binrui, my driving experience is good. The steering has no play, and I feel confident cornering at 60 km/h. The default smart mode has slower throttle response than sport mode, which isn't recommended for new drivers. I don't notice any顿挫, and the suspension is a bit stiff. Fuel economy is acceptable: about 5.8 L/100 km on national roads (at 70+ km/h following traffic) and around 7 L/100 km in the city, with a full tank (≈350 yuan) lasting about 680 km. My main complaints are the infotainment system often losing signal (even on highways, better in the city), the horn requiring more force to press, and the speakers sounding poor, similar to a Wuling Hongguang. Overall, the power, fuel economy, space, and features meet my family car needs. Considering its price, it's worth considering if you want a car with good power and features.

Hi everyone, today I'll talk about the 2022 Geely Binrui COOL 1.5T DCT Thunder Edition. The exterior has restrained front styling with family design, while the sides and rear feature aggressive sporty kits like orange lines and carbon fiber-textured parts. Its sleek fastback profile adds elegance and dynamism. The 4710×1795×1455mm body with a 2670mm wheelbase positions it as a compact car, having length advantage but slightly shorter wheelbase than rivals. Black 17-inch rims with yellow calipers enhance the sporty look. The rear stands out with carbon fiber-textured diffuser trim and dual oval exhausts; the exhaust valve opens automatically in sport mode. The interior excels in sportiness and tech. Sporty elements include suede-like material,贯穿式橙色线条, and colored stitching/seatbelts. Tech-wise, there's a 10.25-inch all-LCD instrument cluster with a fixed red theme (supports full-screen navigation) and a 12.3-inch central control screen with rich connected car features like Gaode Maps, online music, and voice control. Many physical buttons are retained below the center console. The ambient lighting offers various effects and color changes. The leather and suede seats (standard for high trim, optional for mid) have dynamic designs with green and orange lines; high trim adds seat heating. Rear seats provide good comfort with proper cushion length, height, and soft padding. It has a standard sunroof (70cm wide, 30cm long, fully openable). Storage spaces are abundant, especially the cup holder with adjustable dividers and a large under-center-console storage compartment. The trunk is flat, fitting 28-inch, 24-inch, and 20-inch suitcases. Powered by a 1.5T engine (181hp/5500rpm, 290N·m/2000-3500rpm) mated to a 7-speed wet dual-clutch gearbox, it offers four driving modes. In Smart mode, the throttle responds steadily in the first third, then becomes aggressive when pressed deeper. Eco mode delivers a calm daily driving feel. The gearbox performs well in shifting speed, logic, and smoothness, downshifting 3 gears quickly when accelerating hard. It uses front MacPherson independent suspension and rear torsion beam non-independent suspension. The chassis isn't stiff; the front-middle part effectively filters bumps, though there's slight side-to-side晃动 over large bumps. The suspension has good rear-end韧性 for support, with linear damping changes boosting confidence in ramps. Steering is tuned for home use, with a little play and average指向性, but the front end responds quickly and feels agile.
